Different thought. Play Jerome at centre back.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:01 pmImminent press conference at which we will discover injury extent for Rico & Toal.
Small thought: if we’re short on CBs and long on forwards, might we switch to a back four? Last time we did that midseason we went up

Na, it's fine. Good signing for them if they can get it over the line in time.
Next season we'll be in the Championship and with the new data chaps involved we'll see what we can go.

Interesting. If it came to either-or, wonder which way they’d go.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:04 pmDifferent thought.

BBC Manchester tweeted we'd signed Taylor and then deleted.

Serious point - if as rumoured Santos has a bad injury and is out for a while - back four would make sense and we could play Collins and CMG off a striker.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:07 pmInteresting.

But then you've got very little to do when your wingers get tired. You're throwing on players like Charles, Bod or Vic into wide areas, unless we're going to utilise Ogbeta as a winger.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:09 pmSerious point - if as rumoured Santos has a bad injury and is out for a while - back four would make sense and we could play Collins and CMG off a striker.
If Santo is out for a while then it's just Taylor for Santos (assuming that's done).
If Santos AND Toal are out then yeah, maybe you look at Taylor and Iredale in a 4.

IE on Santos: “Not great, he has got a slight tear behind his calf. It is in a position which makes it a little bit more complicated than it ordinarily would be.”

IE on Toal: “It is not straightforward tendinopathy like we thought, but we are hopeful Eoin can carry on."

4-6 weeks my arse. The lad needs to stop tenpin bowling though. It's causing no end of issues.

Not always easy to follow Marc's deadline scribbles.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:16 pmIE on Santos: “Not great, he has got a slight tear behind his calf. It is in a position which makes it a little bit more complicated than it ordinarily would be.”
I read this as "Santos has a small tear, rested for 2 weeks", "Toal can hopefully play through", "Forrester back in training."
With Taylor in that sounds like we're absolutely fine, to be honest.

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.
So Santos has a tear and will get two weeks off at least to try and recover. Eoin is playing through an unnamed injury that isn’t tendinopathy and Forrester returns to training tomorrow.
Talk about a mixed bag of news. But overall doesn’t seem as bad as maybe we might have feared. Two centre halves carrying injuries through run in though I guess has promoted move for Taylor.

“ Evatt also revealed that Will Forrester is set to return to training tomorrow.”

TBF it’s Dan Barnes typing during conference - so yeah, it all needs sense-checking

With Jones back next week after South Korea incinerate the Aussies that leaves us really quite strong for the rest of the season.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:19 pmTwo centre halves carrying injuries through run in though I guess has promoted move for Taylor.
Santos is a massive miss against Barnsley, mind.

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.
I’d be very happy if we do get Caleb Taylor on loan (ignoring the fact it probably means either Rico or Eoin are out injured)
He’s very similar in playing style and physical attributes to Toal to be honest. Tall and gangly but deceptively strong and quick. Much like Toal, Taylor isn’t terrible on the ball but it’s an area of improvement for him.
